Mapping to a full district during a PvP match.

It's not as funny as you think. More like "annoying."

Particularly after you saw it again... and again... and again.
People did it because A) it was 'uber leet', and B) You got faction for team kills

Haha those are pretty funny, nice find.

tommarrow · Mar 03, 2006, 06:20 PM // 18:20

There was a bug where you could sneak out of the gate from Granite Citadel without porting and just wander around the landscape, at least until you reached the edge of the world.

=HT=Ingram · Mar 03, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

How about the dead guys in towns. lol That was funny... I forgot which area that was but I remeber a SS or two posted in guru on it. and I saw a few doing it before it was fixed. lol Oh well...

how would this be done? Never encountered it as I generally steer clear of pre-searing, though I've heard about it and seen screenshots, but i'm curious to how it happened.

Haggard · Mar 04, 2006, 02:23 AM // 02:23

heres how it worked (it could only be done with monk primaries): Gwen appears behind the res portal when you leave ascalon city as per usual. However the first monk quest is to rescue Gwen from across the river, and lead her back to the gate. Once you have done so, you now have two gwens

Also this was pretty amusing when my friend came over to start off at GW while his PC was being fixed:

Rajamic · Mar 04, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

" Note: To work around a problem in this update, we temporarily removed footprints and the red dots displaying the path taken in the Map Area window. This functionality was restored in the May 2 update."

The problem that occured was that attempting to move your character caused err=7 disconnect. That was a good laugh. Probably not for the devs, but it was for me.

nirhan shadowmauler · Mar 04, 2006, 08:33 AM // 08:33

yea it was more obnoxious than that for me though. because my computer would never actually err=7 and just hang me in the city until i finally hard booted my computer.

bebe · Mar 04, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

rofl. teh 'kill your own teammates' looks liek fun :P

Tarkin · Mar 04, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Kill teammates... i will love kill some losers i find in that months i play

Lord Iowerth · Mar 04, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Believe me, the "kill your own teammates" thing was sooooo annoying.

Ok, ok. Fine. Good for a laugh and a "WTF?" a few times, but when it was happening you'd get one in every other team you ended up with in RA ... I made a trapping build just to counter these 'sploiters.

And I realized, "kill your own teammates" is not entirely accurate, as most people caught on to what was going on after it happened a few times, and usually turned on the 'sploiter with everything they had (at close range) 3 vs. 1 was ... well, i'm sure you know how it turned out.

"Attempt to kill your teammates, then get yourself owned" is a better description.

It wasn't a whole lot of fun when you were waiting to go into battle alongside people you thought were your teammates. :S

Not just Granite Citadel. I first managed to do this at Yak's Bend during one of the final betas, and screencapped it all for mapping purposes (and reported it). You could do that at Beacon's until this past update, and I did it once out of Surmia by accident (don't know if that was fixed). It quickly got pretty boring though, with no other objectives, no beasties, and no ability to zone anywhere else.

Annoying to the opposing side too, because all the kills were stolen on you (although the Number-Of-Kills Arenas would log one for your side).

Some of them had some pretty good quick-kill builds -- lava font, traps, meteor shower, well of suffering (everyoone thought that one was well of blood and would just stand there)...
